Taming the Linda

Pant, that is. From Style Arc patterns. I love Style Arc and heard wonderful things about the "Linda" pant, so I ordered the pattern. Now I find that the legs are rather wide, which is no longer the style. Style Arc has a new pattern, redrafted with narrower legs, called the "Barb". I already own the "Elle" pant from Style Arc, and the "Willow" pant. The "Willow" has the narrow leg and is meant for a non-stretch fabric, while the "Elle" has a very narrow leg---I'd say they are leggings---and meant for a stretch fabric. So when I received my "Linda" I decided I really didn't want to pay for, and wait for, yet another pants pattern. I compared all the patterns and redrew the legs of the "Linda". I've cut the fabric out, so keep our fingers crossed! But meanwhile my machine bobbin is acting up again. I just got her out of the shop for the same problem. What's up with that? So I'm not going to chew up my fabric until I get that straightened out.
